Abdulrasool Sumar presents The Dark Sides of Debt Consolidation posted at Debt Consolidation. When paying off their debts, consumers have their minds on only 1 thing, and that is the monthly payments. Some debt consolidation companies will therefore lower your current monthly payments, which is nice, but they will also stretch your payback period.
Baz presents Why We “Need” So Many Credit Cards posted at Day In The Life of Baz. You may have two or three if your lowest rate card, doesn’t coincide with a proper available limit. But essentially, your choices should be limited, so why the hell should people need tons of credit cards?

Steve Faber presents - Increase Your Credit Score –Avoid These 3 Credit Mistakes posted at Debt Free.
